Amazon just slashed $300 off the most affordable M4 MacBook Pro models

$300 off/M4

While we have spotted some notable discounts on the higher-end M4 Pro and 16-inch variants as of late, Amazon has now brought back all of $300 price drops on the most affordable end of the current MacBook Pro lineup. Much like we saw this morning with the return of $200 discounts on the M4 MacBook Air with deals from $799, the summertime $300 price drops on the M4 MacBook Pro configs are back at Amazon. 

Amazon is now offering the entry 16GB/512GB M4 MacBook Pro down at $1,299 shipped. This is a regularly $1,599 machine that is now seeing a $300 price drop to bring it back down to the price we featured for Labor Day this year and in early August. This is matching the best price we have tracked on the most affordable MacBook Pro with the M4 chip at Amazon. 

• M4 MacBook Pro 16GB/512GB $1,299 ($300 off)
• M4 MacBook Pro 16GB/1TB $1,499 ($300 off)
• M4 MacBook Pro 24GB/1TB $1,699 ($300 off)
• M4 MacBook Pro 24GB/512GB $1,499 ($300 off)

All three models are matching our previous mentions to deliver some of the lowest prices we have tracked anywhere online on some of Apple’s most affordable pro-grade machines – just keep in mind we have seen the base model 24GB/512GB M4 Pro variant as low as $1,699 in the past. 

While it does appear as though Apple could be upgrading the lineup with the M5 chip this fall, maybe even in the next few weeks, if it took this long into the M4 lifecycle to see the current models at $300 off, chances are this will also be the case for the M5 models too. It also worth mentioning that some analysts don’t expect the new M5 lineup until next year – here’s the latest from 9to5Mac: 

• M5 MacBook Pro: Here’s what to expect
• Apple likely won’t release an M5 MacBook Pro until next year, but should you wait for it?
